F1 2012 [Preview] – Vettel to the metal (IncGamers)

IncGamers: Formula 1 is a complex sport and, for some more than others, Codemasters’ F1 output is a complex videogame franchise. Videogame fans might love a good racing game, but that doesn’t mean they know the difference between KERS and DRS, or the nuances of tyre wear and race day engine management.

This is a problem that the F1 studio at Codemasters is well aware of, which goes a long way to explain many of the features we’ve tried and tested in our preview build of F1 2012. Teaching players about Formula 1 and the individual characteristics that separate it from other motorsports seems to be a real priority this year, starting with the young driver test.
